Conversation with a K1 Kid


Having learnt the living ways, the kids after 4 is growing intellectually almost every day. Apparently, the one stop encyclopedias for them are their parents. Being a typical IT dad, I always tried to strike a conversation or drag a conversation to argument. It is no corporate meeting and hence you would find the conversation is full of absurdity & weirdly crazy. I tried and collected few interesting conversations that I had in past few months with my 4+ year old son.

One evening at McD:

Achu (while eating chicken burger) : Appa, here you go, have some burger
Me : No thanks, I don’t eat chicken burger
Achu : Because ?
Me : I don’t like killing chicken for food
Achu (after a deep thought) : But, no one killed chicken here
Me : Ofcourse they did, how will you make a chicken burger without killing one ?
Achu : See, they put this bap, pour mayonnaise, sauce, vegetables and the chicken burger.. See, no chicken is killed here. Please eat appa.
Me : @#$##$

Story telling game:

Before he went to sleep, I tried start a game where both has to say a line of a story (creatively)
Me : Long ago, there was a lion chasing a deer and then … (I signaled Achu to continue creatively)
Achu : The lion ran fast
Me : Ok, the lion ran fast and caught the deer and then…
Achu : The deer escaped
Me : (Achu next time you should say a longer one) The deer ran further and met a cheethah and then…
Achu : The cheetah ran fast
Me : (with a oh-come-on expression) ok, the cheetah ran fast and suddenly a helicopter came there and then…
Achu : The helicopter landed
Me : Ok sweet heart, please go to sleep.. .Appa really tired (THE END)

After Hair cut:

Me : Achu, once we reach home, you gotto shower
Achu : No no.. well, ok but no head shower
Me : Why ?
Achu : My hair will grow again
Me : Why head shower will make your hair grow ?
Achu : Because, amma head showers plants every day and the plants grows
Me : !@#$#

 
All on a sudden:

Me : Oh my god !!
Achu : Appa, its oh my goodness

While having dinner:

Me: Achu, eat your food
Achu : Because …??
Me : Because, you need to be strong
Achu : Because…??
Me : Because, that will help you grow
Achu : Because…??
Me : Because (eh …??) never mind, eat later

On a Saturday evening:

Achu : Appa, am sorry appa
Me : Why are you sorry for ?
Achu : Yesterday, I fight with you
Me : Sweet boy, that’s ok
Achu : Appa, I love you appa
Me : I too love you
Achu : Appa are you angry ?
Me : No, why ?
Achu : Can you switch on the XBOX please
Me : Nalla varuvaa da… nalla arasiyal vaathiya varuva (Politician in making)
 

In Play ground:

Achu for the first time, introduced me to his same-age friends
Achu : Hey .. this is my father
Achu friends : (looking at me) Hii father
Me : Eh…#$#$@ (nallavela itha unga ammavum, enn pondaatiyum paakala)
